Abstract

Document drafting is a key component of legal expertise. Effective legal document drafting requires knowledge both of legal domain knowledge and of the structure of legal discourse. Automating the task of legal document drafting therefore requires explicit representation of both these types of knowledge. This paper proposes an architecture that integrates these two disparate knowledge sources in a modular architecture under which representation and control are optimized for each task. This architecture is being implemented in DOCUPLANNER 2.0, a system for interactive document drafting.
